Getting Settled... Figuring it out!

We are figuring out how to be parents. There are so many authors with books out there telling you their theories on parenting. We are working on coming up with what works best for us and our child. I can tell you I am a big fan of getting sleep while you can.


Cherishing the special moments. It is amazing seeing the small changes in a baby from day to day. The new expressions, the changes in behavior, it is incredible.


On our way home! I feel like I want a Chevy Suburban. To have a big old car that the carseat fits better in and I can feel safer cruising down the highway in Texas.


Sometimes, I feel like we have three children with our needy dogs. Thor the Amazing Pooping everywhere and whining Boxador and Canaan the Sneaky Farty Pants Escape Artist Golden Retriever.

We are home!

This week we had a little nugget of joy come into our lives a few days early... Alexander James Mullert was born on a stormy Monday, September 26th at 6:45pm. He was 7lbs 7oz and 20in long. He has a beautiful full head of hair. He will surprise you with how alert he is. We had an all natural childbirth and I was there to hold my wife's hand the entire time. The whole process was amazing, you almost cannot believe it.




Kenda is doing well and recovering with as much rest as she can get between nursing and bouts of crying. She is thankful to not be pregnant any longer. She looks radiant too. It is amazing how we keep growing more in love. I have been trying to keep the house clean, make meals, and change diapers. It is tough with the lack of sleep, but worth every second. We are looking forward to our adventures in parenthood now. Alexander has a pretty strong grip, so we think he will be a rock climber or kung-fu master.
We have been blessed with family nearby to help and support us. Thanks MiMi and Poppi. Thor and Canaan don't like lightning and thunder much. So, an AC/DC concert is out of the question. Canaan keeps trying to escape the yard and Thor destroys everything in his path. Just what we need right now. The Mullerts will install an electric fence this afternoon. We'll keep you posted!
